Visual artist Emmanuelle Rybojad (b. 1991) has quickly become one of the rising figures in contemporary art. Her works have been shown in renowned galleries from New York to Singapore, as well as in Paris, London, and Geneva.

Self-taught, she immersed herself in art from an early age with a collector stepfather who introduced her to the great artistic movements. As an artist, she has developed a deep and plural curiosity—a curiosity that pushes her to consider art elsewhere than on the walls.

“The first piece I made was a coffee table for my apartment. I wanted something unique, not the classic furniture,” she shares. “As I started thinking about this table, I wanted to play with the different materials and to change their typical use. I was always fascinated by lights, reflections, and mirrors, so I naturally worked around those effects for this first piece.”

Resolutely contemporary, her works are imbued with a multi-generational modernity that challenges and encourages introspection. Inspired by the symbols of Pop culture and the ’70s, she opens her studio to new materials, experiments with processes, and works in various media: mirrors, Plexiglas, neon lights, LED.

“If I had to define my art in one word, it would be ‘accessible,’” she notes. “I want my art to gather and make people share and exchange. It’s an invitation to enter my world and everybody is welcome.”
